eVent - Graphical Programming - Workshop

The purpose of this one-day course is to program and apply PIC microcontrollers in an accessible and practical way.

The participants will learn how to use Flowcode to exercise some of the functionality of these modern microcontrollers using peripherals such as timers, counters, digital port I/O, A/D and USART, with polling and interrupt techniques.

The course will use the E-blocks hardware with one of the common 40-pin PIC microcontrollers. The graphical programming of the microcontroller is done with the revolutionary new software Flowcode version 3. The knowledge gained can also be applied to other 8-bit microcontrollers such as the AVR from ATMEL.

The participant will at the end of the day be able to build embedded systems with analogue values and switches as inputs and output via LCD and LEDs.

This workshop is also a very thorough preparation for programming these microcontrollers in C.

Prerequisites
Some electronics skills, digital technologies and computer proficiency (Windows).

The course fee is £ 160, including lunch and certificate.
Every participant also receives the CD Flowcode software version 3 home edition (value £ 48.30).

Elektor subscribers are entitled to a 5% discount.
